Episode Synopsis

Why do we keep worrying about fitting in and being liked? What actually is social status? Why do men care so much about 'honour' or 'pride' and fight each other when they feel disrespected? What does testosterone actually do?We're back, and we're taking a little break from the politics special to explore something that affects everybody. Humans are social animals, men fight, and we all hate being lonely: but why? We explore all these questions with some evolutionary psychology, anthropology, history, and biology.After a long wait, it's a pleasure getting back on Polymath. I had a great time making this, and I hope you enjoy!PS: I say in this video that a certain individual committed crimes of a sexual nature (rather than saying they have been accused of committing multiple crimes). However, I formally retract all statements to that nature because ✨libel✨. Don't sue me ok cheers
